LFR13 - Game 14 - Octover - Wsh 4, Tor 3 (OT)

This is the episode after he found out SL was pregnant. No wonder he wasn't in a bad mood. Also, the whole "dad" thing makes sense

[@timzhang0519]

who’s here after Steve said this was the lfr after they found out she was pregnant

[@jjusttlistenn]

The dad comments at the beginning are a nice Easter egg.

[@njdxsu4917]

“How do you say father in Russian” THE FORESHADOWING

[@davidford3968]

Me. Knowing what we know now, you can tell he just wasn't feeling the rage

[@LisaMo3434]

The opening, with Steve saying so many variations of father, hits different now

[@nicksojka7457]

I know, right? Can't believe the clues went right over our heads!

[@Blackphillipsupporter]

He's our dad in French LMAO

[@Oxmustube]

Which ironically means nothing in french. Tell a guy "I'm your daddy" in french he will look at you like "Huh?????"

[@willygoat4113]

Funny how this was the first vid after finding out he was a dad.

[@connorcampbell5839]

Hey Steve, hope you're doing well buddy. P.S. Haven't even watched the video yet, I just wanna make sure you haven't snapped regardless. EDIT: Oh shit, this is the episode he found out he's gonna be a Dad. I guess he was doing well!

Steve is in a good mood. This is less fun

[@dynamoproductions5]

James Sylvestre Less fun maybe, but I'm glad he's happy.

Yes, I get excited when the Leafs lose and this was too deep for me, I just wanted some yelling.

It is nice to know why Steve was so positive and optimistic on this day. Little Leo was finally on his way. 😁😁😁

Leafs played good last night, they'll figure it out. I think Ovi's comment woke them up

[@timwaldron7599]

If that's true then holy shit man. Coach means nothing, GM means nothing, fans mean nothing, but Ovi speaks and your frame of mind changes? That is either incorrect or ridiculous.

[@dylanroach3022]

@@timwaldron7599 the Leafs came out last night with a way higher intensity than I've seen in any other Leaf game this year. I think they were trying to prove a point not to Ovechkin but to the organization and the fans that they can play physically and for each other. Unfortunately the special teams remained an issue but they have 82 games to figure that out. I don't care whether it was a great Babcock pregame speech, or Ovi's comment, or nothing at all but there were good signs throughout that entire game.

[@timwaldron7599]

Dylan Roach It isn’t even the end of October. The Caps won their cup after everyone wrote them off, and ask TB how much the regular season, much less EARLY regular season matters in the end. Don’t read that much into one game, good or bad. The Leafs and their fans need to relax on the highs and the lows, and let this team learn to win. From what I’ve seen that doesn’t seem to be possible though, too many people freaking out about every little thing to let these guys just play the game.... sad but true.

[@crusader0074]

@@timwaldron7599 Naw...it just means Ovi is actually the Leafs coach.

Seeing this now after Steve revealed this was recorded after he found out his Mrs. Dangle was pregnant, I can understand why he was so damn happy for a Leafs loss 😂

[@charlielindgrensmustache]

Whenever the Leafs play the Caps, Steve never fully breaks down the game like he normally does :(

Interesting. I just noticed that after reading your comment.

“I feel different today, I have a different outlook on the world”. I wonder why

[@Kroitk]

As a Caps fan living in Toronto, I love how Steve always shows a bit of extra love to the Caps and respect and love especially to Ovechkin. This is why I root for you and your team (except when they play my boys in red :p) GO LEAFS GO CAPS GO

[@davidlinehat4657]

Krotiz It’s why i subscribed! Dangle and the Hockey Guy are the best. Go Caps

[@TJGibson0]

Steve thank you I felt the same way last night. That was a fun really close game. I came out of it with the feeling that the Leafs have finally figured it out after the Matthews second goal everything felt the curse over this season has been lifted. Just a weird feeling I got right after that goal

What’s frustrating is Babcock is not using Barrie properly. He should be on PP1

[@randalfriends9953]

Nylander should be entering the zone on PP1 as well. I didn't get to watch last nights game so I don't know if anything's changed but its always Marner entering the zone for whatever reason and he loses it like half the time.

This could legitimately be a Lightning Fan Reaction and all you would have to change is the player names you mentioned, both teams had crushing losses in the playoffs last year (I still see Duchene and Panarin dismantling the lightning in my nightmares), and now expectations are high and the teams are playing very... meh, both teams have struggled mightily with the powerplay and penalty kill this season, and both fan bases are in total disarray and want to fire the coach into the sun and think it’ll solve all the teams issues

where's Connor Brown and Ron Hainsey...

[@lrba5524]

For a single game thats just above average. Most teams with a good power play get nights where they have outliers of 3/4 but other nights where they go 1/6. Once you get a big sample size 29% is great, but a 2/7 night can certainly be characterized as "not that good"

(*nerd glasses on*) yellow vs. gold. Always irks me too, then a friend who's a soccer ref explained it to me. Most, if not all, refereed sports have a rule where the color, at least on the official scorebook, has to be -one syllable-. I guess its so that the official scorer can more easily tell which team is which??? It's silly, yes, but it's why, well, yellow is gold. A famous example of this were the LA Kings 1st and 3rd gen sweaters that were purple. For rules sake, the color was officially called "Forum Blue"... butcomeon. also welcome to the Badger Den #HUFFLYFE

[@reignofrock]

As a Caps fan, thanks Steve. Watching the media make a simple comment into a circus was so frustrating. Ovi spoke from experience and wasn't talking any s*it. Oh silly media, always trying to pit people against each other.

My biggest takeaways from this video: The Leafs are following the Caps model, so they will lose to the Bruins 3 - 4 more times in the playoffs. But there will be boobs when they finally break through

If you google the Bruins colors’ Hex code, it does indeed pop up as a form of “Gold”

Yes Steve it was a very enjoyable game to watch and i felt they played very well .Both teams.

[@_easymoneysniper_]

This team hasn’t been unleashed yet. Babcock has this Ferrari of a squad worth millions of dollars but he won’t put it on the highway. Watching Babcock coach this team is like watching someone use a screwdriver as a hammer: they have no idea how to properly use what they’re given. #FireBabs

[@jamiestuart8551]

On your Dangle podcast you mentioned NBA reffing.Got me thinking about the Bulls making it past the Pistons in the 90's. The Bulls got mugged time and again no calls for the first few years.(Think Bill Laimbeer) Similar to the Caps it's like the Bulls had to earn their way to the Cup. That's why I thought that Ovechkin was doing them a favour with his comment. Loved seeing Matthews give it back in front of the net last night. Get your hands up Matty opposition always goes for the head.

[@bubbles3161]

Leafs look good in my opinion. It's a young new team, last few years teams that just make it in the playoffs are the ones who go far, case and point the Blues. I don't think the Leafs are going to win the cup this year but lets see who perform under pressure and follows the game plan. Lots of talent to use as trade bait to fill the roles needed to build a winner. 2023-24 in my opinion. Leafs are on the right track.

Steve our concern is getting bounced around by the Habs Physically and every other team who is physical and fore checks us with tenacity, our guys are not willing to work through that and just coast. this has been going on since last Feb where their consistency crapped the bed and pissed away home ice by losing games to bottom feeder teams is an ongoing concern. We need some size and grit, I would gladly have if possible a Tom Wilson and Ryan Reaves type players on this team.

[@Taco1011]

I don’t think we’ll know if the Leafs are cup contenders until probably the new year. Saying the obvious, and I understand I’ll get a lot of flack for this, but I’m going to say it anyways. If this pace keeps up, they’d be a wildcard team at best and, at worst, they’ll miss the playoffs. But if they can get some consistency going, and can string a few wins together over the next few months, they might be good enough to win a round or two. But it goes back to that same old feeling I had a few games ago. I just don’t think this team is good enough to win the cup. It’s gotta be the defence or the goaltending. Their forward depth is insane and the depth they’ve got up front is something to be extremely proud of.
